Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 193 - 159: The Gu Family is Full of Rash Men! Kill Him in Advance?_3
Chapter 193: Chapter 159: The Gu Family is Full of Rash Men! Kill Him in Advance?_3
This is too arrogant!
Wan Shan Taoist heard the news as soon as it came out.
Even he, an Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm cultivator, was so angered that he massaged his temples!
“I even purposely delayed things for you, hoping that once Qingqing finished her inheritance, the situation could perhaps be reconciled.”
But now, it was unavoidable.
...
No matter what, Gu Changge was the Young Master of the Gu Family. The words he had spoken could not be easily disregarded.
It was all in vain that I racked my brains, trying to help him avoid trouble.
Yet he was eager to compete with Saint Xu.
Feeling helpless, Wan Shan Taoist sent a voice transmission to summon a Seventh Grade Infinite Realm deacon of the sect.
“What does the Sect Master wish to instruct?” The Infinite Realm deacon came to the great hall and gave a respectful salute.
“Keep a close watch on Saint Xu in the following days.”
“Don’t let anything go wrong before the competition begins.”
After so many years in the Northern Domain, he knew all too well the nature of those brutes from the Gu Family.
“Does the Sect Master mean… the Gu Family might take action against him beforehand?”
The deacon also quickly realized the severity. If something truly happened to a person while under the care of their Heavenly Cold Sect, it would indeed be troublesome.
“Yes, you’re not unaware of what those people from the Gu Family are like.”
“What are they incapable of doing?”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
Wan Shan Taoist shook his head, feeling resigned.
“Understood.” The deacon nodded repeatedly. The Gu Family’s ability to become the foremost great family in the Northern Domain was in no small part due to their extreme solidarity and overprotectiveness.
Even the Heavenly Cold Sect and the Northern Domain Royal Family were quite exasperated with them.
To say that they are unrelenting when they have the upper hand would be an understatement; they would argue their way into having an upper hand even when they’re in the wrong!
…
“You agreed?”
“And you won’t let me suppress my realm…”
“This kid is truly seeking death!”
“Or, is it a deliberate provocation?”
“But… I have no intention of being courteous. Since this boy so eagerly seeks death, I shall oblige him.”
Upon hearing the news from Yayun, Xu Qing couldn’t help but grin.
“Senior Brother Xu said not to take his life.”
“What do you plan to do?”
Yayun’s gaze was tender, her words softly alluring and charming.
She had figured it out over the past few days.
Since the Saintess had stumbled, all because Liu Qingqing clung to the legs of Young Master Gu,
Why shouldn’t she find a more formidable leg to cling to?
And there happened to be a suitable candidate.
The Saint Heir of the Green Sun Sect in front of her had a status no less than Gu Changge, and his cultivation was even higher.
Although she did not inherit the Saintess’ cultivation technique, most of the other cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Cold Sect could complement those of the Saint Heir of the Green Sun Sect.
The effects might be slightly inferior, but they were still quite fitting, weren’t they?
So in these past few days, whenever Yayun had time, she would come to flirt with Xu Qing.
But he was solely focused on setting up the competition to clear the humiliation and had no such inclinations, which was truly maddening!
“I am a man of my word; naturally, I will not take his life.”
“But breaking limbs and crippling his cultivation is permissible.”
“I would like to see, if he completely becomes a cripple, whether Liu Qingqing will remain as steadfast!”
He didn’t know if it was because the act had been too convincing or if the numerous gossips regarding the Heavenly Cold Sect had truly angered him.
At this moment, his hatred for Gu Changge had deepened.
“It’s hard to say.”
Yayun murmured in her heart upon hearing his words.
When Liu Qingqing went to marry into the Gu Family, Gu Changge had been a useless man who couldn’t cultivate, merely having intact limbs.
But she kept these thoughts to herself, not voicing them out loud.
Lest she seem to depict Liu Qingqing as utterly pure and herself as nothing but a seductive vixen in Saint Xu’s eyes.
“Then… When does Senior Brother Xu plan to set up the competition?”
“I’ll pass on the message right away to spare Senior Brother Xu the trouble.”
To be honest, Yayun was somewhat eager to witness the scene he described.
It would be gratifying to see Gu Changge, the prime culprit for her downfall, have his cultivation crippled and limbs broken.
And if she could witness Liu Qingqing’s distress, it would be even more thrilling!
“Has Liu Qingqing completed her inheritance yet?”
Upon hearing Yayun’s words, Xu Qing suddenly realized something and asked with a frown.
He wasn’t truly focused on dealing with Gu Changge.
That was just a convenient side matter.
What truly mattered was to fulfill Senior Li’s instructions and use the competition to draw Liu Qingqing out of the Heavenly Cold Sect.
Otherwise, even if he beat Gu Changge to death, what use would it be other than providing relief? Without the fallback in Central State, his actions were tantamount to suicide!
“Senior Brother Xu… Why are you still thinking about her at this moment?”
Yayun looked somewhat aggrieved.
“I merely want her to witness firsthand how incapable the husband she chose is.”
Xu Qing offhandedly gave an excuse.
“I see.”
“She hasn’t emerged yet, but she should be finishing soon.”
“The Elders say that at most, one can only stay in the Inheritance Tower for about twenty days.”
“By calculations, she should be out in a couple of days.”
Hearing him speak, Yayun too, relaxed slightly and felt better.
“But now that he has accepted the challenge, if Senior Brother Xu does not set a time soon.”
“Wouldn’t it invite criticism?”
She worried for him again as another thought came to mind.
“Let’s set it for five days from now, fifty miles outside of Heavenly Cold Sect, where I will set up the platform.”
He considered what she said had some merit and silently worked out the timing. According to her, in five days, Liu Qingqing would have finished her inheritance.
“So… Shall I send out the message right now?”
As Yayun spoke, her gaze was flickering, full of implied emotion, as if ready to satisfy any requests from Senior Brother Xu.
“You have my thanks.”
But Xu Qing had no such thoughts and directly spoke to dismiss her.
After Yayun left, she went straight to the side hall where the people of the Gu Family were temporarily residing.
She intended to personally deliver the news to Young Master Gu!
To alleviate the hatred in her heart!
